This web page is designed to serve as a resource for undergraduates seeking summer research opportunities in STEM fields. Many such opportunities exist every summer, whether they are at universities, national laboratories, or in industry. Below, we have grouped these according to these broad classifications. This list is by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it provides a starting point, especially for students seeking their first summer research experience.
Students interested in these opportunities should be mindful of the application deadlines. Many have deadlines that are in the fall of the year before the summer of interest.
